Low energy efficiency is already a major problem for petrol and diesel vehicles. Typically, only 20% of the overall well-to-wheel energy is actually used to power these vehicles. The other 80% is lost through oil extraction, refinement, transport, evaporation, and engine heat. This low energy efficiency is the primary reason why fossil fuel vehicles are emissions-intensive, and relatively expensive to run.

Scientists developed a self-healing material that self-repairs cracks in screens and can potentially even restore damaged functions

Taking inspiration from a desert-dwelling animal, scientists came up with a power-free passive cooling system capable of cooling things 5x longer than current technology

Dutch scientists hailing from the Delft University of Technology managed to create an astonishingly small atomic sensor capable of registering magnetic waves that consist of merely 11 atoms.

Scientists from various universities were able to set an eye-wateringly fast record of squeezing 44.2 terabits per second of data through an existing fiber optic cable. This new world record was achieved by using a so-called 'micro-comb,' which is capable of firing several laser beams in a bundle.

A science team has harnessed the power of deep learning to build a new laser-based system that can image around corners in real-time

Scientists from the Dutch Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) developed a tiny plastic robot that can collect and deliver small packages without the use of computer chips or batteries.

Battery technology is becoming more and more important in modern times. Not only do we use batteries in everyday devices like phones and laptops, but they are also used for large scale energy storage to support renewable power generation. On top of that, the electric car is getting more popular by the day. An innovative leap forward in battery technology could, therefore, be a BIG deal.

Researchers indicate that it is theoretically feasible to save 215,000 terabytes of data on one gram of DNA

Quantum computing is an amazingly interesting field. Many predict that quantum computers will dominate our future. Nevertheless, there are also some inherent flaws in quantum computer hardware. Subhash Kak predicts that random errors resulting from those flaws might mean that quantum computers will be less useful than we expect them to be..

Competition in the electric SUV segment is heating up. One of the, perhaps, lesser-known competitors in this segment is the Mercedes EQC. Universal-Sci borrowed one from Mercedes Benz Netherlands for a few days and checked to see what it does differently from its competitors
